Playa Hermosa

The bus ride was crowded. We got off at the wrong stop and a very nice Costa Rican couple gave us a ride. The man was holding a large fish out of the car window (23 kilos) but they insisted on taking us right to our hotel. The hotel is fun. The owners and the guests are very nice. There is a great pool and we can use their kitchen to cook. We ate dinner at a restaurant called Pescado Loco, which means crazy fish. I had a fish taco. The beach is clean but busy. It is the last week of summer va...

Playa Hermosa Again

We are back at the Iguana Inn at Playa Hermosa, after our trip to the Secret Beach where we camped with Patrick. We went to a hotel called Hotel Man Gaby. It was recommended by some people we met on the beach. There was a girl at the restaurant in the Hotel Man Gaby named Valeria. I played with Valeria with a hackysack which we lost in a bush, but the kind people found it again. We went back another time and played spinning tops and Poppers. Pop!!! Valeria had fun. After we came back from the...

Bienvenido a Playa Hermosa!!

... right! Shirtless was the only way to go. On our drive we passed by the countryside which kind of reminded of the Philiipines or Hawaii. We also passed a river full of crocodiles. Sometimes these crocs wash down the river and into the surf! Yikes!! After 2 hours, we finally made it to Playa Hermosa. The beach was a mere 25 yards from our room. Kinda far, huh? After another 3 hours of waiting for the ...

Day 4 - Some Pics and a Swell is coming!

Tuesday, I can't believe its only Tuesday, which is F'n awesome, had a 9:45am surf session, waves were a lot bigger than yesterday, apparently a swell is coming...which means bigger waves and more surfers in the water, today was a challenge boards were flying everywhere at one point. I caught a few more waves today which was great, but still not consistent like I want to be, I just need to chill out and let it happen, got ...

Surfing

Well, someone needs to remind me that the tropics and my skin tone do not mix well. I decided to go for a run the other day, with my shirt off, and I am paying for that. The surf has been pretty good - wiped out for the first time today, and was stuck under the water for about 7-10 seconds, but that was after I really caught one (and someone caught it on film!) and I fought back through the surf to catch a few more, but then was exhausted. I can swim a mile every day and ...

Playa Hermosa

Asaf- We decided to change our plans a little and ended our stay in Montezuma early and headed for Jaco by speed boat. When we arrived on central pacific we headed for Playa Hermosa to see the famous black sand beach. On the way down a ¨jovial¨ southern women asked if it would be okay if the taxi driver stopped at a cow pasture so she could ...

Spanish School

... very individualized. But, it is WORK and my brain is tired. So.............after waiting an hour for Sonny to pick me up, we finally connected, he forgot he was suppose to get me!!!!! We will now move to our new accomodations and then go exploring for a while, until I have to do my homework before tomorrow. I think this will be a good mix of my studying while Sonny explores. Bye for now.............others need to use this school computer.

Playa Copal, Bahia Salinas, Costa Rica

... to do and thoroughly enjoyed! I had a great time there and be assured that I will return some day! It was fun making my "office" be the beach so to speak! Also, I'd like to say thanks to Rupi and Dani from Germany and Canada respectively, they are awesome people and a truly inspiring couple that is living life to nature's rhythm. We shared a lot of time together on the beach and on the water and I hope our paths cross again very soon!

Fiesta del Toros

... what he's doing and gets incredibly close to the bull without getting touched by it. In addition there are about 15 other people in the pen who run round and generally taunt the bull, I think their technical term is 'fodder'! We unfortunately saw a demonstration of this on Saturday when 1 guy didn't get far enough up the fence before he got hooked off by the bulls horns. The bull then whacked him a couple of ...

Day 7 - Drive to Tamarinto

... of enforcing the 25 meter rule that nothing can be built or owned by non citizens that close to the water. We had pizza that was ok. We then walked down to Witches Rock surf camp which is now more fancy with higher prices and the waiters wearing uniforms. With advertising "Nachos as big as your ass" you wopuld think this place would be more laid back! We then went back to Pasatiempo for a swim and hung out in their restaurant/bar playing scrabble until it was time to go to bed.
